July 15 – Matthew 26:36-39, 47-50
Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane. He said to the disciples, “Stay here while I go and pray over there." When he took Peter and Zebedee’s two sons, he began to feel sad and anxious. Then he said to them, “I’m very sad. It’s as if I’m dying. Stay here and keep alert with me." Then he went a short distance farther and fell on his face and prayed, “My Father, if it’s possible, take this cup of suffering away from me. However—not what I want but what you want.”
While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of
the Twelve, came. With him was a large crowd carrying swords and clubs. They
had been sent by the chief priests and elders of the people. His betrayer had given them a sign: “Arrest
the man I kiss.” Just then he came to Jesus and said, “Hello, Rabbi.” Then he
kissed him.
But Jesus said to him, “Friend, do what you
came to do.” Then they came and grabbed Jesus and arrested him.
